Duct Tape Diaries

Leland Davis

Leland Davis is an incorrigible whitewater addict and river gypsy, writer, and photographer. Whether for a day on a backyard kayak run, a week on a wilderness raft trip, or a months-long road trip across an entire continent, there’s nothing that makes him more happy than total immersion in the paddling lifestyle – when the flow of the river, friends, and the wildness around me compress the world into blissfully pure moments of NOW. He often lives in a van down by the river with his wife Andria and dog Hudson, as they write whitewater guidebooks to help put fuel in the tank. See rivergypsies.com for more of what we do.
